Deep Relief Dry Plaster Casting
with Sean Hennessey
Discover an easy, versatile, and economical way to create bas relief and deep relief kilnformed glass. Using found objects and fabricated forms, you’ll press originals into plaster powder to create backgrounds and foregrounds, then slump sheet glass into your molds. Working with Tekta Clear Bullseye glass and glass paints, you’ll learn glass cutting, moldmaking, and the kiln schedule for this technique. With minimal coldworking, you’ll use a wet tile saw and wet belt sander to finish your pieces.
This remarkable and nearly waste-free casting method offers endless possibilities for fine art, public art, and architectural applications.
This five-day class is suitable for beginners or experienced glass sculptors, and all skill levels.
